If the call to the child goes unanswered,the device will automatically switch on the listen mode that allows parents hear the ambient noise through the built in microphone.The battery powering the device has 36 hour span covering the normal needs well.

Press Release from LG.

SEOUL, Nov. 10, 2014 — KizON,
a wearable device designed for children from LG Electronics (LG), has
been certified for meeting specific environmental guidelines by TÜV
Rheinland and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) Environment, two of
the world’s leading certification organizations. KizON, currently only
available in South Korea, begins its overseas rollout this week in
Poland, to be followed by other European markets.

KizON
is the first wearable device to receive the Green Product Mark from
Europe’s leading testing, inspection, and certification body, TÜV
Rheinland. UL Environment awarded KizON its ECOLOGO® Platinum
certification, the highest offered by the 120-year-old American
organization. To receive these certifications, KizON was subjected to a
rigorous process to assess its performance in a number of parameters
including, avoidance of hazardous chemicals and toxic components,
recyclability and energy efficiency.

“KizON
was developed in response to customers’ opinions that technology should
be used to improve the lives of all consumers and it occurred to us
that children had the most to gain because they’re the most vulnerable,”
said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile
Communications Company. “With KizON meeting the highest standards of
child-friendly products, parents and guardians can find comfort in
knowing that their children’s first exposure to wearable technology is a
safe one.”

KizON
is a wearable designed exclusively for pre-school and primary school
children that gives parents a simple and convenient way to keep track of
their youngsters’ whereabouts using something they already have in
their pockets — their smartphones. KizON offers parents ease of mind by
not only delivering real-time information of a wearer’s location but
also giving children the ability to communicate directly with them via
the One Step Direct Call button. What’s more, KizON also includes
Location Reminder, which allows parents to pre-set the device to provide
location alerts at specific times throughout the day. Battery life is
rated at 36 hours and when the power level drops to 20 percent, a voice
notification alert and text message is activated to inform the wearer
and parent to recharge the device.

A
wide range of accessories featuring popular animation characters will
be available for KizON, which is available in two attractive colors:
blue and pink. Additional details including price and availability will
be announced locally in additional markets at the time of launch.
